When I first came across this item while searching for Bach organ music, I couldn't believe the price for 15 (yes, that's right, 15) CDs performed by Gustav Leonhardt and with other outstanding performers, such as, Harry van der Kamp, Anner Bylsma, Sigiswald and Wieland Kuijken. And they are performing a variety of Baroque (and a little Renaissance) organ and harpsichord music along with some other great instrumental music, such as Telemann's Paris Quartets. And all of this for a ridiculously low price.... more info
What a Price!:
FIFTEEN CDs for $34.98, or a good deal less! I repeat, what a price! I almost overlooked this Jubilee Edition, thinking it contained a few re-released recordings that I'd have on vinyl anyway. But this is too good a deal to ignore, virtually a career retrospective on the Prometheus of the harpsichord, the man who did more than anyone to rescue Bach and whole Baroque era from the malted schmaltz tyranny of the Steinway and the Wurlitzer! Gratias tibi Gustavo agimus deo musicae! What's in the box?
